Wildcat.

1. [Required] Wear a helmet and back protector.

   Always learn it on an airbag setup first. Only attempt it once your backflip and straight airs are dialed.

2. A wildcat is a backflip rotated around the line that runs from your nose to your toes (the long axis of the board, nose to tail), so it feels more like a sideways cartwheel-flip thrown diagonally backward, not the straight-back rotation of a normal backflip.

3. Approach straight.

   Keep your knees softly bent (about 30 degrees), torso tall, eyes on the lip ahead. Lock your stance just before the lip and stay level side to side. Leaning in tilted wrecks the axis.

4. At the moment you pop, press evenly from the balls of your feet to your heels on both feet and extend straight up.

   Height first. Without air time you cannot finish the rotation.

5. As you rise, swing your back-foot-side (tail-side) shoulder and arm up and diagonally backward, while dropping your front-foot-side (nose-side) shoulder.

   This shoulder see-saw is what sends you diagonally instead of straight back.

6. Look over your back-foot-side shoulder toward the diagonal-back direction you want to spin.

   Your body chases where your head points, so hold that gaze.

7. Once you start flipping, bend your knees to about 90 degrees and tuck the board in slightly, drawing your arms toward your body.

   The smaller you make yourself, the faster you spin for the same pop. You do not need a hard tuck like a backflip, so adjust by feel for spin speed.

8. When the landing comes into view below you, extend your knees and hips to open up and stop the rotation.

   On contact, bend your knees about 30 degrees to absorb the impact, keep the board flat on the snow, and land centered with your body stacked over both feet.
